Monastery of San Pedro de Soandres

Monument · A Laracha, Bergantiños, A Coruña

Former Benedictine cenobium documented since the 10th century, as early as the year 956, although the present building of its church, with a basilical plan of three naves and three polygonal apses, dates from the 14th century and is in Gothic style. The corbels supporting the eaves, in Romanesque style, together with some loose pieces scattered around the temple, are attributed to the original building, of which only the church survives; it was the main monastic centre of the concello of A Laracha, in the comarca of Bergantiños, and stands in the parish of Soandres.
